lunda, I was right there, too! Across the street, in front of the Borders.
Shiny. I was in front of Ralph Lauren's slowly-taking-over-the-sidewalk cafe.

There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am going to try really hard not to watch Shear Genius except on weekend marathons. I get all into the shows and insist on watching them when they air, and I should go to bed instead!

THAT'S IT!!! It wasn't near the factory? Somebody lied to me!
Nah. It was down on the waterfront near the Children's Museum. If you kept heading out of Boston past it, you went by the (Boston) World Trade Center and eventually you'd get to Southie (or Dorchester).

I haven't been watching Shear Genius because the promos made it look unbelievably lame. (Not that that stopped me from watching Top Design, but I have to draw the line somewhere, right?)

Top Design was bugging me a LOT. One, all of the challenges seemed completely arificial (rooms without windows of any kind, cabanas no person will ever used being judged on standards of practicality). It was really annoying to watch these idiotic challenges that could not possibly have been reflective of any kind of conditions they would ever face as designers in the real world.
Plus, in what seemed like a VERY subjective contest, the contestants were being judged by three people with the most startlingly atrocious taste in personal style. I would never take a criticism from any one of those people seriously. I'd laugh at them and point at his or her wardrobe and hair style.
I mean, all of these Bravo reality shows are subjective to one extent or another, but a hair one seems a little more concrete, they have judges with a personal style I can take seriously, and it seems difficult to come up with stupid and irrelevant challenges (which I felt basically everythin on Top Design was), though I'm sure they'll try.
Plus, Jaqueline Smith!

You know what I don't understand about the Top Design complaints? People who don't like Todd Oldham and/or Jonathan Adler. If anything, I just wanted MORE of those two crazy gays.

Seriously! I want Bravo's next TV show to be Tim Gunn, Tom Colicchio, and Jonathan Alder Sit Around A Table And Say Bitchy Things About People.

Because books.
Todd Oldham is so sweet! I loved him. But he had far less of a role than, say, Tim Gunn on Runway. And he wasn't a judge like Chef Tom, so he was sort of useless, much as I like him. Jonathan Adler didn't bug me, but I hated Kelly Wearstler. Margaret just seemed snotty and elite.
The challenges were sort of blah, and there was no time to do the mini challenges like on Top Chef. Which I know they didn't do on Runway, either, but somehow it didn't matter.

Oh, I'd totally watch that show, Jess and Jesse.

I think you should give it a chance. I'm liking it much better than Top Design, plus.... horrible things done to people's heads!!!
